Queensland rugby has confirmed Wallabies great Michael Lynagh has suffered a stroke.
The 1991 World Cup-winning first five has been admitted to Royal Brisbane Hospital this week, following a long haul flight from his home in the UK.
While there was initial confusion around what his ailment was, Lynagh, 48, remains in a stabilised condition with doctors undergoing tests to find out the cause.
Former Australian captain Andrew Slack told the Sydney Morning Herald doctors were still accessing his former teammate's condition.
"Clearly he's got some physical issues from it, blurred vision and stuff but I'm led to believe he got up and went to the toilet at one stage," he said.
